Cracking the whip, the Election Commission Tuesday ordered the transfer of the Andhra Pradesh director general (intelligence) and two district superintendents of police, following complaints against them, the EC sources said.
The state Chief Secretary has been asked to transfer DG (Intelligence) A B Venkateswara Rao, and SPs of Srikakulam and Kadapa districts Venkata Raman and Rahul Dev Sharma respectively with immediate effect, the sources said.
The officers should hand over their respective charges to senior-most official in their offices.
They would be attached to the police headquarters and should not be given any election-related work, the EC sources added.
Andhra Pradesh is having simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly polls. All the 25 seats of Parliament will go for polling in the first phase on April 11.
